Sharp Objects
by
2.5 stars
It’s all me. The rating doesn’t reflect the skill of the author or the merits of the book. I think it was "good" and well-written but my mind went into self-preservation mode and I promptly forgot the plot after finishing the book. I had to remind myself by reading the book description. I really don’t enjoy dark depressing psychological stories that revolve around childhood abuse. I get dragged down emotionally and feel depressed afterwards.
I’m not sure I can ever eat pork again either.
Having said all that, I enjoyed Gone Girl and I'm currently reading Dark Places and so maybe I do like reading about emotionally disturbed people.

Because, I was able to espy an individual heal from this ..."Yes, I agree. Books sometimes appeals (or lacks appeal) to different readers for different reasons. While I've read dark and depressing before, this one just didn't strike a chord with me, as her other books did. I'm glad you liked it better than me :-)
Elyse, lol, thanks!!! I think I'll be skipping this movie! Loved her other books though :)
Thanks for your candid review, Jan. It's weird how we can enjoy some but not others of the same ilk. It's been awhile since I've read this but I do remember it was quite disturbing to me...
Respectfully written.
